Blogtagging
Well, since I've been blogtagged by Joy, I suppose I should play the game. It seems a harmless enough meme. I have to tell you six interesting things about myself and tag six more people.
1. One of my ancestors fought in the Mexican-American War, and when he returned home he named his baby daughter after the battle of Cerro Gordo (which means Fat Hill). He feminized it (and mispelled it) to Cero Gorda (which means Fat Zero). That name has been passed down for generations, and it is my middle name. When I was married, I took the opportunity to fix the spelling and finish feminizing it. The final result: Cerra Gorda.
2. My eyes are usually grey, but they can be any combination of blue, green, and grey at other times.
3. My two favorite bands are Skyclad (from England) and The Dirty Three (from Australia). The Dirty Three are an instrumental band consisting of guitar, bass, drums, and violin. Yes, I know that's four. They added a member but didn't change their name. Soon after I had discovered The Dirty Three, they played in Tucson at a tiny warehouse/art gallery. That was the most amazing show I've been to.
4. Even though I read mostly science fiction and fantasy, for some reason I write mostly horror and straight fiction stories.
5. I enjoy dog obedience training, although I have had little practical experience. I've nearly finished teaching the novice on-leash exercises to our Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees cross, Phantom. He's been a tough one for a novice trainer like me, because those breeds haven't been selected for trainability like many companion breeds have been. Consequently, it takes significantly more effort and patience to get him to comprehend what I want, compared to other dogs I have worked with. However, once he understands an exercise he tends to be very solid on it in a short amount of time. Assuming that we'll be able to take him with us when we move, I plan to continue his training all the way to Utility if possible.
6. I like to do thread crochet, the smaller the better. I own the two smallest steel hooks available, which I have used to crochet cotton sewing thread. I have thought about trying to sell hand-made lace dollhouse furnishings such as curtains and tablecloths, but I have no idea how much of a market there would be for that.
I will now tag Corvus/Sadeq, TheoPhileo, El Pato, Deanna, HookerMama, and Silverfoot.
Phew. That pretty much exhausts my list of blogs that haven't already been tagged.
